Make or break fight for underdog vs.
2016 Олимписки бронзен медалист Нико Хернандез
Март 25 on CBS Sports Network live from Kansas Star Arena
MULVANE, Канзас (Февруари 23, 2017) – Мува Patrick Gutierrez is going into his nationally-televised, Главниот настан пресметка, Март 25 in Kansas with high expectations against pro-debuting 2016 Olympic junior flyweight bronze medalist Нико Хернандез. Gutierrez is training hard in Las Vegas for his scheduled six-round “Knockout Night Boxing: History Begins” headline bout to derail hometown hero Hernandez’ coming out party
“This fight is make or break for me,” the 22-year-old Gutierrez said about his ‘Rocky’-like moment. The crowd won’t bother me because I enjoy fighting in front of large crowds. I’ve learned the hard way that, fighting my opponent in his backyard, I can’t leave it in the hands of the judges. I watched Nico fight in the Olympics. I have a lot of respect for him and was proud of him for winning the bronze medal for our country. Но,, I also saw some flaws from the fight that he lost. He’s in trouble if he hasn’t corrected those flaws.”
“Knockout Night Boxing: History Begins” will air live on КБС Спорт мрежа. На 9:00 вечер. И from Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Канзас. Knockout Night Boxing LLC is the licensed promoter of the March 25та Настанот, in association with Kansas Star Casino, and it is sponsored by Miller Lite, Mel Hambelton FORD and TITLE Boxing.
The CBS Sports Network all-star announcing team for “History Begins” will include Hall-of-Famer Jim “J.R.” Ross, Шон Wheelock и Eyои Варнер. Justin Roberts will be the ring announcer.
Хернандез, 21, was a highly-decorated amateur boxer (94-5) who is like a sports franchise in his hometown of Wichita.
A national Taekwondo champion as a youngster, Gutierrez played football in high school, at least until he realized that he had stopped growing, eliminating the possibility that he’d ever play college football. He had always liked combat sports and decided to try boxing.
“I fell in love with boxing right away,” Gutierrez admitted. “I live in the fight capital of the world, Лас Вегас, и Флојд Mayweather (Џуниор.) was at his prime there when I first started boxing. I boxed in California (Округот Оринџ) and won a three-day tournament there as an amateur. I decided to turn pro but, due to some broken promises, I didn’t make my pro debut for two years. Значи, I just focused on training. I broke my wrist in the second round of my first fight but decided to stick with boxing. Six months later, I fought a California kid (Alexander Enriquez) in Los Angeles and felt that I had won all four rounds. I could tell because the large crowd was silent throughout the fight. I’ve learned the hard way, the past four years, but I’m still young and getting better every day. I had an easy fight scheduled for Март 11 кога (промотор) John Andersen called offering me this fight. I wanted to restart my career and jumped at the opportunity to fight Nico. I decided to take the risk to fight an Olympic medalist in his hometown. I just love fighting and I’m not going there to lose.”
The eight-round co-feature shapes up as a southpaw battle between a rooster and bull. Rising junior middleweight star Neeco “Rooster” Macias (14-0, 8 КО) puts his undefeated record on the line against dangerous Arturo “Ел Торо” Crespin (13-8-1, 4 КО). Macias is a showman from Palm Desert, Калифорнија, whose non-stop style makes him an instant fan favorite wherever he fights. His “Rooster” persona will be perfect for his first pro fight in Kansas.
Kansas cruiserweight Jeff Page, Џуниор. (17-3, 11 КО), will open the televised portion of card in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined.
Scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, in separate four-round matches, are four Kansas boxers: Kansas State junior middleweight champion Efrain Morales (4-0, 1 КО), супер средна Marcio Navarro и перолесна Eric Vargas (1-0, 1 КО). They will all face opponents to be determined.
Сите борби и борците се предмет на промена.
